Future Boy Conan (1978)

 


Written & Directed Hayao Miyazaki.

Its rather shocking how much the fascination with small agrarian communities, flight, war, and especially shifting and ambiguous loyalty between characters has always been a part of Miyazaki's output.  This same thematic similarity (although not with the same themes) got Kirby nicknamed "Jack the Hack" at the end of his career, yet Miyazaki is considered a national treasure.
